World As It Is

One resident doctor has being raped and killed in Kolkata. Sorry to ask this but than why such incidents happen and how to not get affected by listening this. Daily we hear some or the other news like this. Now is there karma behind it? Or interia? Or unconsciousness? Why that freedom has being given to such forces that leads to these kind of events?

In your book the Veda of the Body – you have touched upon creation. I’m sure Sri Aurobindo would have answered this in great detail, but I’m going to ask anyway. It’s a big question.

Everything is valued with money? Where does it stop and when will it stop? Please share your views on this.      

Yes the woke wave is trying to dismantle the family and the nation unit turning everything into a field of conflict of interest. This is

Once a deity possession took place in my hometown and a deaf and dumb lady got possessed with a form of devi, jwala devi as locals say. She offered grains of rice to almost everyone but not me and even said something angrily (I thought may be because I was on menstruation cycle but what if otherwise). I know Mother does not reject anyone, but even after loving her I fall prey to this memory. Please help!

These possession states are generally by forces of the lower vital worlds that imitate the great goddesses to draw the attention of people and sometimes
